Do You Perform Michigan Home Inspections And Commercial Building Inspections Full Time

This is an important question to ask any inspector you are interviewing. The inspector you choose should do inspections full time, and here's why. Many horror stories have surfaced from clients who hired a part time inspector who were told during the inspection that a major issue was found. The inspector would disclose that they were also a contractor and could perform the repairs. This is frown against by the inspection profession due to a conflict of interested. Most inspection associations have included language in there standards of practice, which strictly prohibits this behavior. If your inspector discloses they are a contractor and indicate they can repair your home, an immediate red flag should be raised.
